Barfly's Beat: Late Summer Tiki Madness

Barkeeps Tobin Ellis, Julie Reiner, and Brian Miller at LK

Aloha! You want Tiki! You need Tiki! Well if you do not have a home bar called the Rhum Rhum Room at your disposal then get your Polynesian cocktail fix this coming week at the following events that would make Trader Vic proud:


Tiki Mondays at Lani Kai
Starting Monday, August 8th

Tiki Mondays reunites Elettaria tiki night alums on both sides of the stick with head pirate Brian Miller crafting a special cocktail menu of tiki classics. The list of concoctions include the Donn Beach's 1934 Zombie, the Cobra's Fang, both Caribbean and Tahitian Rum Punch, Navy Grog, and Rum Barrels. A rotating group of guest bartenders (expect more Elettaria ex-pats) accompany Miller dishing out swizzles for your pleasure. We hear Jim Kearns is up next week. So bust out the Hawaiian prints and start off the week in paradise!
